    iMac vs 20mm Anti-Tank Rifle

    In 1939-1940 it would be very effective vs Soviet tanks of the time as most had around 20-30mm armor. But by 1941-1942 heavier armored tanks like KV1 and even the T-34, this would be much less effective and shots would have to be aimed at weak points such as tracks and wheels. I would suspect...

    PC Shipments Down 8.2%

    I agree completely with what a few have posted so far. There is very little need to buy a new computer today. I've been building my own systems for probably as long as some people reading this have been alive. Long gone are the days where an upgrade to your computer got you a real world boost...

    Turning The Homeless Into 4G Hotspots

    I moved from TX a few years ago and all this controversy sadly informed me of the passing of Leslie. As for the issue itself - doesn't bother me at all, it employs and empowers those that need it while performing a service the rest can use - just like any other job.

    How Do You Pronounce GIF?

    Those of us who are past their teens/early twenties say it with a j because that is what the creators of the extension called it, and that is what was taught in school. The young'ins use the hard g, but then again they also use words like phat, haxorz, 1337, and noob.... so they automatically...

    Consoles Are Holding PC Games Back

    That's completely untrue, there are more console torrents than PC games it's been that way for a while now. In fact it's much easier to pirate console games than it is a PC game. With a computer, you need to crack/bypass each game individually. On the console side, you just purchase a modded...

    Antec Releases One-of-a-Kind Open-Air Chassis

    I kind of miss that case. Mine got hand-me-down'd to my mother after I could no longer stand visiting and using the 500mhz Gateway from hell. As for the new one.. .meh... I like the flexibility, but it's ugly as hell.

    Not sure if this has been brought up before, but has anyone tried 2/1/2 set up with the center montior in a verticle position... is it even possible? Might be a way to get the best of both worlds if it would work.

    Steam Hardware Survey: January 2010

    What they need to do is separate laptops from desktops. Looking quickly through the driver listings at least 20% of the survey are laptops. The numbers start making more sense when you figure at minimum 1/5 - 1/4 are laptops.

    Borderlands Gameplay Performance and IQ @ [H]

    Just a note for those running older video cards looking to 'upgrade' w/20-22 inch display. I just benched the same area (multiple run throughs) on a 4870 and 720BE tri core and out performed all cards listed in the review at that resolution. Taking the lowest fps of each of my runs I hit a min...

    80's Geek Toys & Modern Equivalents

    Had the 100:1, the Casio, and numerous Erector sets. Great thing was when I got older and stopped 'playing' with the Erector sets and 100:1, they became spare parts for whatever I was working on. I can't tell you how many times I rigged up my old Chevy with pieces from the Erector set (the...

    Intel Core i7 920 Overclocking and Heat @ [H]

    Kyle, If you continue with tests of the i7 could you do some overclocked comparisons (max stable overclock) between it and Penryn based CPUs. I'd like to see if there is any real world performance to be gained with the new proc compared to processors that can easily go over 4GHz. Thanks.
